Internet Draft draft-ietf-avt-rfc3555bis-part2-00.txtFebruary 26, 2006 1. Introduction This document updates the media type registrations initially specified in RFC 3555 for the RTP payload formats defined in the RTP Profile for Audio and Video Conferences, RFC 3551 [1], as subtypes under the "audio" and "video" media types. This document does not include media type registrations for the RTP payload formats that are referenced in RFC 3551 but defined in other RFCs. The media type registrations for those payload formats are intended to be updated by including them in revisions of the individual RFCs defining the payload formats. The media type registrations specified here conform to the updated template format and procedures in RFC 4288 [2] and RFC XXXX [3]. This update makes no technical changes in the registrations. Together with RFC XXXX, this document obsoletes RFC 3555. 1.1. IANA Considerations This document updates the media type registrations listed below to conform to the revised registration format specified in RFC 4288 and RFC XXXX, so the reference for these media types should be changed from RFC 3555 to this document. Some media type registrations contained in RFC 3555 are omitted from this document; the existing registrations for those types continue to be valid until updated by other RFCs. There are no new registrations contained here. audio/DVI4 audio/G722 audio/G723 audio/G726-16 audio/G726-24 audio/G726-32 audio/G726-40 audio/G728 audio/G729 audio/G729D audio/G729E audio/GSM audio/GSM-EFR audio/L8 audio/L16 audio/LPC audio/PCMA audio/PCMU audio/VDVI video/nv Expires August 2006 [Page 3]
Internet Draft draft-ietf-avt-rfc3555bis-part2-00.txtFebruary 26, 2006 Media type audio/L16 was initially registered via RFC 2586 for transports other than RTP. That registration is incorporated here and augmented with additional information for RTP transport. 1.2. Terminology The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [4] and indicate requirement levels for implementations compliant with this specification. 2. Registrations for "Audio/Video Profile" In the following sections, the RTP payload formats defined in the RTP Profile for Audio and Video Conferences, RFC 3551 [1], are registered as media types. 2.1. Audio Type Registrations For most audio payload formats, the RTP timestamp clock rate is equal to the sampling rate. Some payload formats operate only at one fixed sampling rate, while others are adjustable. These audio formats also include the optional parameters "ptime", to specify the recommended length of time in milliseconds represented by the media in a packet, and "maxptime", to specify the maximum amount of media that can be encapsulated in each packet, expressed as time in milliseconds. The "ptime" and "maxptime" parameters are defined in the Session Description Protocol (SDP), RFC ZZZZ [5]. 2.1.1. Registration of Media Type audio/DVI4 Type name: audio Subtype name: DVI4 Required parameters: rate: The RTP timestamp clock rate, which is equal to the sampling rate. The typical rate is 8000, but other rates may be specified. Optional parameters: ptime, maxptime (see RFC ZZZZ) Encoding considerations: This media type is framed binary data (see Section 4.8 in RFC 4288). Expires August 2006 [Page 4]

Internet Draft draft-ietf-avt-rfc3555bis-part2-00.txtFebruary 26, 2006 Required parameters rate: number of samples per second -- For non-RTP transport, the permissible values for rate are 8000, 11025, 16000, 22050, 24000, 32000, 44100, and 48000 samples per second. For RTP transport, other values are permissible but the aforementioned values are RECOMMENDED. For RTP, the rate parameter indicates the RTP timestamp clock rate, which is equal to the sample rate. Optional parameters channels: how many audio streams are interleaved -- defaults to 1; stereo would be 2, etc. Interleaving takes place between individual two-byte samples. emphasis: analog preemphasis applied to the signal before quantization. The only emphasis value defined here is emphasis=50-15 to indicate the 50/15 microsecond preemphasis used with Compact Disks. This parameter MUST be omitted if no analog preemphasis was applied. Note that this is a stream property parameter, not a receiver configuration parameter. Thus, if parameters are negotiated, it may not be possible for the sender to comply with a receiver request for a particular setting. channel-order: specifies the sample interleaving order for multiple-channel audio streams (see RFC 3190 [7] Section 7). Permissible values are DV.LRLsRs, DV.LRCS, DV.LRCWo, DV.LRLsRsC, DV.LRLsRsCS, DV.LmixRmixTWoQ1Q2, DV.LRCWoLsRsLmixRmix, DV.LRCWoLs1Rs1Ls2Rs2, DV.LRCWoLsRsLcRc. For interoperation with DV video systems, only a subset of these channel combinations is specified for use with 20-bit linear encoding in the DV video specification [8]; those are DV.LRLsRs, DV.LRCS, DV.LmixRmixTWoQ1Q2. This parameter MUST be omitted when the AIFF-C channel order convention (see RFC 3551) is in use. For RTP, ptime: RECOMMENDED duration of each packet in milliseconds. For RTP, maxptime: maximum duration of each packet in milliseconds. Encoding considerations Audio data is binary data, and must be encoded for non-binary transport; the Base64 encoding is suitable for Email. Note that audio data does not compress easily using lossless compression. Expires August 2006 [Page 18]

Internet Draft draft-ietf-avt-rfc3555bis-part2-00.txtFebruary 26, 2006 3. Changes from RFC 3555 RFC 3555 is obsoleted by the combination of RFC XXXX [3] and this document. RFC XXXX retains the specification of procedures and requirements from RFC 3555, while the media type registrations from RFC 3555 were extracted into this document. The media type registrations for the RTP payload formats that are referenced in RFC 3551 [1] but defined in other RFCs have been elided from this document because those registrations are intended to be updated by including them in revisions of the individual RFCs defining the payload formats. The media type registrations in this document have been updated to conform to the revised media type registration procedures in RFC 4288 [2] and RFC XXXX. Whereas RFC 3555 required the encoding considerations to specify transfer via RTP, that is now specified under restrictions on usage. The encoding considerations now warn that these types are framed binary data. The change controller is also now identified according to current conventions. The optional parameter "channels" was clarified for audio subtypes L8, PCMA, and PCMU. Finally, reference [9], which was missing from RFC 3555, has been corrected. 4. Security Considerations The media type registrations contained in this document do not by themselves impose security risks, but some may state security considerations specific to the particular registration. Several audio and video encodings are perfect for hiding data using steganography. The RTP specification, RFC 3550, provides security considerations for the transport of audio and video data over RTP, including the use of encryption where confidentiality is required. 5.
